Chelsea have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their Premier League tie with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday .

This is comes after midfielder Romeo Lavia sustained an injury.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has revealed that Lavia will not feature against Spurs at Stamford Bridge.

In his pre-match press conference, Maresca shared news from his squad.

The former Leicester City coach spoke about the 21-year-old, revealing that he suffered a setback in training ahead of the Tottenham game.

Maresca said (via Athletic): “He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately, one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.”

Lavia joined Chelsea from Southampton in the summer of 2023.
